DrWhizbang.1630 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 We now see that Legendaries will be shared across all of your level 80's on your account via a shared armoury, but the question is will the devs do shared gathering tools slots? I cant be the only one who is sick of "drag infinite tools to shared inventory slot, log in as new char, replace tools with infinite tools" rinse and repeat with all toons. (with 46 toons this is a chore) can Anet just create a library of infinite tools that is used by all lvl 80 toons, for example, you log in and your tools are equipped, you can even have collections so you can have different animations for different toons. Just a thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal Paladin.3871 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Infusions and gathering tools might not have legendary variant... Unlimited gather tools are part of cash cows for anet... Infusions.. idk I still couldn't understand much about infusions 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 That's what shared inventory slots are for. Players won't need to store legendaries there once the armory comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manasa Devi.7958 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Selling fewer tools in the future and a huge hassle with players wanting to be compensated for superfluous tools. I don’t think this will ever happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kharmin.7683 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Yes, I read it. And I believe that things are working as intended. This helps fuel sales of gems for shared inventory slots, something I don't believe Anet would want to stop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, this is guild wars 2, or as a lot of people call it, Fashion wars, they could create a collection for having all the tools and people will buy them for the skins.

kharmin.7683 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Also, you don't need to drag tools into shared inventory slots. Slot some regular tools on the toon, and then simply double-click to swap them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's simple to open the hero panel, make 3 sets of double-clicks and then close it. Anet doesn't need to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With suggestions like this, one should ask: "what's in it for Anet? How would ANet profit from this suggestion?" If you can answer those, then you might have a good case. Also, I don't believe that GW2 was designed with 46 toon farming in mind, so this might go against the original design intent. Again, what's in it for Anet?

Will it tho? how many people will buy more than one infinite tool? create a collection library for people to swap em as they see fit as well as having them shared between without having to swap them? missed opportunity imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no need for a shared library for that. It works fine now. So, no extra sales. Just lost sales from people who might buy multiple tools for the convenience but don't have to any longer.

kharmin.7683 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 How would this proposal incentivize players to purchase more tools? At any rate, good luck with your suggestion. You might want to put it here, as the devs watch that thread more closely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shared tools slots? just like shared Inventory slots? fair enough there is only 3 but still can make money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lan Deathrider.5910 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Sounds more like the solution was for you to have bought more unbreakable gathering tools and fewer new character slots. Also 46 toons?!?! You must have them all at a flax farm huh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
